Seminário
UFSCar/USP ? 08/04/2011 - 14h00
LOCAL: Auditório 1 da
Biblioteca Comunitária da UFSCar TITLE: GENERALIZED GAMMA FRAILTY MODEL AND
APPLICATIONS
ABSTRACT: Frailty models are usually used to model correlation in clustered
survival data. Some of the most popular frailty models are based on gamma,
Weibull, lognormal and stable distributions. In this talk, I will introduce a
generalized gamma frailty model that includes gamma, Weibull and lognormal as
special cases. I will then discuss inferential issues for this frailty model.
This parsimonious model is then used for model discrimination between different
special cases for a given data. Finally, I will take some real-life data sets to
illustrate the practical usefulness of this model.
Espero contar com a presença de todos os colegas e alunos.
Atenciosamente, Josemar
Rodrigues
